Xero Food Inventory Add-On for Australian Food Businesses
Xero handles your accounting. You need something that handles your production.
- Native Xero integration
- Food-specific features: batch tracking, use-by dates, recipe management
- Real-time COGS to Xero
- GST-compliant for Australian food businesses
- Production records and ingredient traceability
- Supplier lot tracking through to customer invoices
Xero is the accounting platform for most Australian food businesses. But Xero’s native inventory system wasn’t built for food production — it doesn’t track recipes, it doesn’t track batches, it doesn’t manage use-by dates, and it doesn’t track supplier ingredient lots. You end up with Xero managing your accounting and a spreadsheet managing your production. That’s chaos. You need a Xero food inventory add-on that understands food manufacturing. BSimple is built exactly for this.
What BSimple Adds to Xero for Food Businesses
Xero handles your accounting beautifully. BSimple handles food production: recipes, production runs, batch tracking, use-by dates, HACCP records. Everything flows to Xero automatically. Ingredient purchases appear in Xero. Production COGS flows to Xero. Customer invoices are created in Xero. Purchase orders are matched to bills. All the production complexity lives in BSimple, all the financial correctness lives in Xero. No double entry. No reconciliation headaches. Link to Xero integration.
Recipe and Batch Tracking That Syncs with Xero
Define recipes in BSimple with ingredients and quantities. Run production batches. Every batch gets a unique code and is linked to supplier ingredient lots. When you allocate a batch to a customer invoice, BSimple creates the Xero invoice automatically. Full traceability is maintained in BSimple (supplier lot → production batch → customer invoice). Financial correctness is maintained in Xero (costs flow correctly, GST is applied, profitability is visible). You’re not managing two separate systems — they’re integrated and speaking to each other.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does Xero have a food inventory add-on?
No. Xero’s native inventory system is generic — it doesn’t include recipe management, batch tracking, or use-by date handling. Most food businesses use Xero for accounting and a separate system (or spreadsheet) for production, which creates reconciliation problems.
How does BSimple integrate with Xero for food businesses?
BSimple manages your production (recipes, batches, traceability). Every transaction flows to Xero automatically: ingredient purchases, production COGS, customer invoices, purchase orders matched to bills. Xero stays current without manual entry.
Can BSimple track food batches and use-by dates through Xero?
Yes. BSimple tracks batches, use-by dates, and ingredient traceability. This data doesn’t need to go into Xero (Xero only cares about financials), but it’s available in BSimple for production, recalls, and compliance audits.
Is BSimple suitable for Australian food manufacturers using Xero?
Absolutely. BSimple is Australian-built, Xero-integrated, and purpose-built for food manufacturing. Thousands of Australian food businesses use Xero. BSimple is the production system they’ve been looking for.
